Annapurna Sanctuary and Tent Peak (Tharpu Chuli)
From £3,095 Altitude 5,633m Grade: 3B
Annapurna Sanctuary and Tent Peak (Tharpu Chuli)
A spectacular journey into the heart of the Annapurna cirque including an ascent of Tent Peak.
This is a spectacular journey that combines the ascent of Tent Peak (Tharpu Chuli) 5633m with the classic Annapurna Sanctuary trek. The trek is stunning with some of the most impressive mountain scenery in Nepal including Annapurna I and the magical ‘Fish Tail’ of Machhapuchhare. We arrive at base camp acclimatised and ready to tackle our main objective Tent Peak Tharpu Chuli from a high camp below the mountains north-west ridge. The summit day is quite steep with a superb ridge that leads to the spectacular summit and its panoramic views. A great first Himalayan Peak.

Reviews
I enjoyed the trip. The trek into Annapurna Sanctuary was amazing. [The trip leader was] very good and discussed decisions with the whole group. The campsite on the way back from Annapurna Base Camp had great views.
